Patent number: 7953123Abstract: The method allows communications means to be listed, for end-to-end broadcasting of information other than that required for managing multimedia sessions. After a selection (52) of communications channels through an infrastructure for managing multimedia sessions, the method provides via the application level, the establishment of a communication specifically using the selected communications channel(s). Purely descriptive/explanatory fields of characteristics of a session may be selected at an application level and used for conveying additional information in addition to the signaling protocol. It is thus possible to change the conditions for consuming/using the multimedia contents or the established flux. Instantaneity of the services and service use conditions may be obtained by requesting for example renegotiation in real time of a service when the conditions of use are modified (iconification of a TV/Video streaming flux in order to reduce the bandwidth used).Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Societe Francaise du RadiotelephoneInventors: Christian Bouvier, Jean-Philippe Wary

Patent number: 7659695Abstract: A device associates an enclosing capsule in which will be fitted electronic equipment requiring dehumidification, and a medium-to-low voltage converter to recharge electronic equipment. Heat energy released by the coil in the converter will lead to a free thermal exchange of air between the inside and the outside of the capsule, produced by the natural convection from vent holes located in the lower part of the device through which air will be sucked from the outside and vent holes located in the upper part of the device through which warm air thus produced will escape. The circulation of unsaturated warm air around the electronic equipment has the effect of removing the water molecules on the components by saturating the ambient air in the confinement zone, this air being evacuated through vent holes located in the upper part of the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Societe Francaise du RadiotelephoneInventor: Christian Faisy
